Chelcee Grimes' new girlfriend looks just like Christine McGuinness as they go official
Chelcee Grimes has revealed who her new girlfriend is, and she looks very similar to her famous ex-partner. The singer-songwriter who has written for the likes of Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa tends to keep her personal life rather private, but has gushed about her partner on social media.
However, the 33-year-old footballer has now confirmed that she's in a new relationship following her split from executive producer Amelia Farhang, whom she stated dating last year. But now, the Liverpudlian has confirmed her romance with Rachel Slade, taking to Instagram to document parts of their romance.
Chelcee, shared clips of Rachel taken on a lavish holiday as she posed alongside the swimming pool in a bikini, before another clip of Rachel running along the golden sands of the beach. Elsewhere, she posted another clip of Rachel dancing while the pair enjoyed a night out together. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response.
The post was met with the caption: "I have 2 girlfriends," documenting Rachel in various ways, including different fashion senses. Captioning her post, Chelcee penned: "Not sure which one I prefer... What do you think?" Her upload, which has been liked over 500 times, was soon flooded with comments.
Patrice Evra joked: "We all got many personalities." While Rachel replied: "I don't understand the question." Another person laughed: "They work well together please don't split the pair."
"They're both my fave," said another. Meanwhile, Rachel bears a very striking resemblance to Chelcee's ex, Christine McGuinness. But both Chelcee and Christine have remained very quiet about their past, with Chelcee briefly opening up about dating publicly.
Speaking last year, she said on the Taboo Talk podcast: "Yeah, I think... y'know they're the only ones you know about to be honest," about her high-profile romances. She went on to add: "There's been a couple.
"It's the job I'm in. It's the industry I'm in. It's where I'm gonna meet people. Yeah it is weird." Both Chelcee and Christine met while competing on ITV's The Games in 2022 and instantly struck up a close bond, and were seen kissing one another in December of that year.
The pair were also seen kissing at Winter Wonderland in London's Hyde Park in the same year, before locking lips again during a holiday in Ibiza just several months later. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Chelcee's romance with her ex Amelia seemed to "fizzle out".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source said: "Chelcee's romance with Amelia fizzled out and they decided to go their separate ways. To friends, it would seem as though they haven't ended on the best terms because they're no longer in contact and have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
"Amelia has been sharing cryptic Instagram posts on her latest holiday, which would suggest their relationship didn't end well." Meanwhile, Christine has previously hinted at her romance with Chelcee.
The Blackpool-born star admitted that her now ex-husband, Top Gear star Paddy, and her family had all known about her sexuality throughout her marriage. Christine and Paddy, 51, announced in 2022 that they had decided to separate after 11 years of marriage.
Speaking on the How To Fail podcast, Christine, who also appeared as a guest on The Real Housewives of Cheshire, was asked if she would label her sexuality. Despite hesitating, she insisted that she is a "free spirit."
"No, and again, I've thought about it," she commented. Christine added: "A lot of people always ask me, are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Are you what? Is this a phase?
"I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it. When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. 14/15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal."
But while she's had "situationships," she and her partners have never put labels on their relationship status. "My experiences with women have been lovely, and it's not like women are better or worse," she told broadcaster Elizabeth Day.

Midsomer Murders fans told to binge 'absolutely brilliant' detective drama they've probably never heard of
The Brokenwood Mysteries follows a crime-solving duo in a small town, just like Midsomer Murders - and the detective series has been dubbed as "the New Zealand Midsomer Murders" ITV Midsomer Murders fans are being encouraged to discover another "absolutely brilliant" detective series featuring a crime-solving partnership they've likely never encountered - but will undoubtedly find themselves binge-watching. The New Zealand-based crime drama, The Brokenwood Mysteries, centres on Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd and rule-following Detective Kristin Sims as they probe offences in the tranquil, small-town environment of Brokenwood. Much like the popular ITV drama Midsomer Murders, which features Neil Dudgeon - who recently discussed the 'far-fetched' storylines - The Brokenwood Mysteries presents an experienced DI partnering with a younger detective as they handle peculiar cases in a compact and apparently perfect town. Branded as "the New Zealand Midsomer Murders" it chronicles DI Mike Shepherd and his colleague, DC Kristin Sims, as they address baffling cases in the quiet town of Brokenwood, reports Hello! The ensemble is headed by Neill Rea (Go Girls, Auckward Love), portraying Shepherd, and Fern Sutherland (The Almighty Johnsons) as Sims, reports the Manchester Evening News. The programme's synopsis reveals that DI Mike Shepherd arrives in the ostensibly serene town of Brokenwood "with a classic car, a country music collection, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives". It adds: "His assistant, DC Kristin Sims, is a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss's car. Shepherd soon discovers that Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions." In the newest instalment, Shepherd and his colleagues find themselves entangled in a "web of deception, greed and dark secrets" whilst tackling their most baffling investigations in the picturesque village of Brokenwood, ranging from "mysterious murders" to "seemingly supernatural incidents". The programme, which proudly holds an 86 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, has earned acclaim from audiences who've branded it "excellent" and a "must-watch" across social media platforms. One viewer gushed: "The Brokenwood Mysteries. An absolutely BRILLIANT detective mystery from New Zealand. Quirky, well acted, great stories." Another fan characterised the programme as a "lighter New Zealand mystery series set in modern times in quirky small town.," praising its "plenty of humour among dark deeds, good writing, acting, and strange deaths." A third enthusiast urged fellow viewers to give it a go, declaring: "If you want a really excellent programme to watch, have a look at The Brokenwood Mysteries on Drama. The best thing I've watched in years." The Brokenwood Mysteries is available to binge-watch on the streaming service U. The 11th season arrives on U and U&Drama on Monday, August 18

Wynne Evans confirms he has split from his fiancée Liz as ex BBC star reveals he is 'dating again' - just weeks after he proposed
Wynne Evans has split from his fiancée and is dating again - just weeks after he proposed. Last month the Strictly Come Dancing star, 53, sparked speculation that he and Liz Brookes had broken up after he deleted his engagement post from Instagram and unfollowed her. And now speaking on a Facebook Live on Saturday morning, the Welsh opera singer revealed his engagement was over and he is 'trying to date', while also admitting he'd been in a relationship 'that's not healthy for me.' Insiders told Daily Mail that the catalyst behind the break-up was Wynne's new business ventures - his new radio show and restaurant - which have consumed his diary, leaving little time to have a relationship. Liz runs a successful events company in Wales which is how she met Wynne after he performed at a corporate function her firm organised. The opera singer credited fitness-fan Liz for helping him shift weight before his stint on Strictly. An insider told Daily Mail: 'Wynne and Liz broke off their engagement a few weeks ago. 'The pressure of his new business ventures took its toll and they had a big fallout. 'Initially, there was a belief they would get back together when the ill-feeling died down, as they had split before and managed to patch things up. 'But with Wynne actively trying to date again and going public describing the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've split from good this time.' Daily Mail have approached Wynne's reps for comment. Wynne got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Morocco in June and documented the gesture on Instagram, posting snaps of him proposing and a close-up of Liz's engagement ring. He wrote: 'Big news… I got engaged! 'This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.) Wynne also paid tribute to Liz for helping him after he was axed by the BBC following his 'spit roast' comment during the Strictly live tour in January (pictured with Katya Jones) 'She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. 'Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.' The couple met in 2024 shortly before his stint on the BBC1 dancing show. Liz was often sat in the audience for the Strictly live shows and shared a sweet snap with him after one performance - saying she was 'proud' of him. Speaking on a podcast last year, the father-of-two gushed about how Liz helped get him in shape: 'I go out running with my girlfriend and stuff and I feel much better for it.' Wynne also paid tribute to Liz for helping him through a tough time in his work life, after he was axed by the BBC following his controversial 'spit roast' comment made during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour in January. Wynne - who is known for the Go Compare ads - was caught on camera seemingly suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter and Strictly professionalJanette Manrara. The comment came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour and swiftly earned a rebuke from BBC bosses who told him: 'We will not tolerate such behaviour.' In May, Wynne broke his silence on his controversial comment as he claimed he was forced to apologise. He denied it was a sexual jibe about a female presenter and insisted he used the term 'spit roast' as a nickname for fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick. The opera singer confirmed in May the BBC will not be renewing his one-year rolling contract following a four-month investigation following the inappropriate comments made during his time on Strictly. He has since set up his own independent radio show which streams live on his website, following the end of his breakfast show on BBC Radio Wales. Last month, it was reported Wynne is suing the producers of the BBC show's live tour for medical negligence after claiming he was left in 'agony' after suffering a double fracture and two snapped ligaments in his foot during the production. The star admits the injury still continues to affect him, and he is currently unable to enjoy light runs. In a bid to get over his Strictly woes and being axed by the BBC, Wynne opened a wine bar and restaurant in his hometown in Carmarthen, West Wales, called Welsh House by Wynne. The singer was previously married to wife of seven years, Tanwen — the mum of his two kids. He revealed the 2016 breakup left him clinically depressed and he ballooned to 22 stone. Wynne said he struggled with dating apps when he was single and many women only wanted to meet him because he was Gio Compario from the comparison site adverts. On his mental state following his divorce, he said: 'I had very dark thoughts and very dark days where I would contemplate all sorts of terrible things. 'I think it's obvious what I'm saying, but I don't want to say it because some people find it distressing. I'm fine to talk about it now, but at that time nothing would help me. 'I wanted my life to be over and I did some stupid things.'

'Love Island couple tipped for the final are DUMPED by ex-islanders' in dramatic twist - and miss out on £50k cash prize
A Love Island couple who were tipped to make it all the way to the final have reportedly been dumped from the villa by ex-Islanders, after footage left their fellow contestants questioning the integrity of their connection. According to The Sun, the dramatic moment unfolded at the fire pit when several former contestants returned to the villa and voted out the pair, in scenes set to air during Sunday evening's episode. Ex-Islanders, including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and loved-up duo Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, were among those said to have cast their votes to send the couple packing. While the identities of the 'dumped Islanders' haven't been revealed, a source told The Sun that the returning castmates were left stunned after watching footage that allegedly exposed cracks in the couple's romance. They told the publication: 'This couple have been a big part of this series, so this is a shocking moment. 'But having watched it back, ex-Islanders have become privy to action they weren't fully aware of, and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection. According to The Sun, the dramatic moment unfolded at the fire pit when several former contestants returned to the villa and voted out the pair, in scenes set to air on Sunday 'The couple were sent packing on Friday afternoon, and the scenes will air on Sunday.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. It comes after Love Island fans were left in shock when fan favourites Megan Moore and Conor Phillips were brutally dumped from the villa on Friday. The couple became the latest Islanders to get axed just days ahead of the final on Monday, as the last days in the villa get well and truly underway. Their exit was announced while the remaining couples were still on their final dates in a savage twist, and viewers were left stunned by the verdict. Megan and Conor's relationship was cut short when she was dumped; however, the couple got a second chance when she re-entered the villa last week. But as the Islanders were enjoying their dates, an unexpected text saw the atmosphere shift. Toni read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is…' While the identities of the 'dumped Islanders' haven't been revealed, a source told The Sun that the returning castmates were left stunned after watching footage that allegedly exposed cracks in the couple's romance It comes after Love Island fans were left in shock when fan favourites Megan Moore and Conor Phillips were brutally dumped from the villa on Friday Sharing their thoughts on X after Megan and Conor were dumped, fans wrote: 'Am I the only one who wasn't expecting that Conor and Megan dumping idk ???'; 'I don't even like Megan and Conor but even i can admit that they were very compatible as a couple...'; 'Erm why didn't they show Megan and Conor being dumped instead of Meg and Dejon arguing again?'; 'Ngl I probs woulda voted Megan and Conor to win'; 'How is the UK so bad at voting?
